On Many Seas: The Life and Exploits of a Yankee Sailor. E-book. Formato PDF Frederick Benton Williams - Forgotten Books, 2017 -
Whatever value this book may have is due to the fact that it is the plain story of a plain man, told in his own words. I had often listened to his stories with pleasure, and at last persuaded him to write them down, and it is but just to him to say that my task as editor has been confined to cutting out some yarns which, however suitable to the leisure of the forecastle, would have taken up too much space in print.
Our Iron Roads: Their History, Construction, and Administration. E-book. Formato PDF Frederick Smeeton Williams - Forgotten Books, 2017 -
The road-side halt, the post-horn's well-known air, The inns, the gaping towns, and all the landscape fair. There were also various other sources of innocent enjoyment in the journeyings of our grandfathers of which we have been bereft and it must, for instance, have been very agreeable for a lady to be married in her riding habit, and jog off for her honeymoon on her pillion, with her arm round her husband's waist.
Stair-Building and the Steel Square A Manual of Practical Instruction in the Art of Stair-Building and Hand-Railing, and the Manifold Uses of the Steel Square (Illustrated Edition). E-book. Formato PDF Fred. T. Hodgson And Morris Williams - Ionlineshopping.Com, 2020 -
On entering a building, almost the first thing that meets the eye is the staircase and unconsciously it is made to serve as an indicator of the quality of the architecture. If the design is poor or the construction faulty, this flaw immediately gives the visitor a bad impression of the whole building. Furthermore, stair-building is a rather difficult subject and the principles involved are very little understood, which is evidenced by the fact that the layouts as furnished by architects in their plans are often improperly done. Probably more mistakes occur in connection with the stairway of a building than with any other construction feature. It is with the idea, therefore, of giving a complete though simple presentation of the construction methods as applied to standard design of staircases, that this book has been prepared. The article discusses straight and winding stairs, stairs with well hole, layouts for curved turns, the proper proportions of rise and width of tread, the design of hand railings and many other problems, the solution of which will be found very useful. Coupled with this article is a most instructive section on the Steel Square, containing many applications of this useful instrument to roof and other types of construction.
